'Change a Pet's Life Day' is January 24

January 24 marks "Change a Pet’s Life Day," a day dedicated to raising awareness about animals in need and encouraging people to adopt pets from shelters. Here are some ways to celebrate and change a pet’s life:

1. Adopt a shelter pet:
The best way to celebrate is by adopting a pet from your local shelter. Not only does it change the life of the pet you take home, but it also opens space for others in need.

2. Volunteer or foster:
If you're not ready to adopt, volunteer your time at a shelter or foster a pet. Fostering provides a temporary home and helps animals become more adoptable.

3. Donate:
Shelters always need financial support, food, and supplies. A donation, big or small, can make a huge difference.

4. Spread the word:
Share posts about animals in need on social media or talk to friends and family about adoption. The more people know, the more animals find homes.

Celebrate Change a Pet’s Life Day by taking action – adopt, volunteer, donate, or spread the word. Together, we can change a pet's life for the better!
